Does it mean as of now, we have no first team CBs under contract for next season?

Forgot about that. Just Moore, Dabo (option) and Bidwell of the defence/GK

It's quite astonishing that selling your tickets via a third party company can somehow stifle your ability to operate and use your income how and when you want

Perplexing?

Most sell via a third party these days I think.

We can’t just magic a sale

it’s pretty obvious the club thought we could get rid of Hamer at a fee that would solve immediate issues. The fee rejected by Fulham was probably the first error

Then we dithered on o hare and he got injured

There actually has not been any reported interest in Gyokeres and we can’t magic a transfer and anyway that would really mean a relegation dog fight

We put hamer and o hare on big contracts dnd we haven’t sold one - it’s bad commercial management

Under normal circumstances I imagine it possibly benefits the club through the season as they get continuous cash flow. Obviously this season that may have bitten us in the bum.

Assume it also benefits Ticketmaster to do it that way too.

Hardly.

Delusional is not realising we are a selling club.

We take a player we got on a free and sell him for (whatever) million-no disputing it’s a really good bit of business.

Its good business if we can reinvest. If not it’s bad business signifying a declining company. If you can’t afford to restock you don’t have a business.

While it may be be prudent I'm fairly sure a competent business is capable of budgeting income, I mean we've a recent longterm disruption of business where I think fortunately a lot of fans left their funds in the club rather than claiming it back.
Say something like a particularly harsh winter disrupted 3months of the season, could be enough to cripple many teams?

You're suggesting it's been done with a plan in mind, which if it were true would have been completed when Blackburn originally came in with a higher offer. It's happening because we're that desperate for short term cash that we're OK selling a player off at a reduced price with barely a week of the window remaining.

Just dawned on me the fee is lower than Oxford sold Luke McNally, Rob Atkinson and Rob Dickie for. Hyam has played 2 seasons of Championship football (and statistically is up there, although I tend not to agree) and none of those three had.

A stat guy on twitter says coventry are selling really low at 1.5 in this league.. I thought 2.5 was decent but maybe I'm just miles out the loop of this divisions transfer activity

1.5 mill is an absolute bargain for Blackburn. He's had two promotions, been made stand in captain and is MRs go too every time, two seasons in the Championship and got better and better each year. For me a fee of 3m minimum is perfectly just

It won’t even be enough to plug the shortfall, it’s just such a bad idea to sell at that price and at this time.

Classic Sisu,

Hyam initially fee received, I would imagine would not solve all our ongoing cash flow concerns , after going a month with no income

Yeah but it's not like we won't get at least a good majority of the lost income back when the games are played. As long as the it covers us in the short term.

At 1.5m for a player with 2 years left on a new deal this represents a steal for Blackburn - very disappointed unless we have a stellar replacement lined up!

The fact that all you seem to do is act like it's the end of the world and sure fire relegation now matter what we do.

You're either a WUM or you spend your day like this

"The milks turned, it's SISU's fault and we are going down"

"Can't find my keys, relegation here we come"

Honestly, if we need to sell someone then I'd rather it not be one of the big three or sheaf.

It’s not the end of the world

point being is that things are very concerning right now

I’d agree with the last comment

Would your opinion change if we sold gyokeres?

Im not a wind up merchant. And yes I feel If we sell gyokeres without an adequate replacement I feel it’ll be a long season

The post described the sale as though it were planned out. Why then are we selling him at a knock down price with a week to go and not longer ago with a higher bid?

The answer would seem to be because we’re desperate for cash even if the fee won’t touch the sides of our money woes
